Rotating motorized fish hook creating sound waves

Abstract

A fishing hook with a freely rotating electrical motor producing movement and sound waves.

1. A fishing hook comprising a hook means, a line attachment means, and an intermediate watertight casing encasing a fixed electrical power source and a free-sliding motor having an activation end slidably alignable with said power source and an opposite end comprising a rotary shaft and an unbalancing counterweight, the casing defining an essentially cylindrical cavity, the motor comprising a micromotor including an essentially cylindrical housing slidably receivable within the cavity, the power source comprising a button cell battery including a trailing activating side having a cylindrical circumference spanning the cavity, whereas sufficient tilting of the cylindrical cavity from the leading-end-up orientation toward the leading-end-down allows the micromotor activating end to slide into activating contact with the trailing activating side of said battery, the activation of said motor causing rotation of said shaft and counterweight and endowing the fishing hook with rotational force, said counterweight rotation also causing said motor to engage in counter-rotation within said casing and endow the fishing hook with counter-rotational force enabling the fishing hook to shun contact from its external environment, said counter-rotation also causing said motor and said counterweight to contact said casing and further endow the fishing hook with differing contact sounds. 
   
   
     2. A fishing hook described in  claim 1  above, the counterweight comprising unbalancing configuration selected from the group consisting of V-shaped arms, and V-shaped arms with terminal massing. 
   
   
     3. A fishing hook described in  claim 1  above, the counterweight comprising V-shaped arms. 
   
   
     4. A fishing hook described in  claim 2  above, the watertight casing comprising a metal cylinder with a cylindrical cavity having an internally threaded leading end and a cylindrical battery ledge around the circumference of the cavity for supporting the circumference of the trailing activating side of the battery, and a cylindrical metal endcap having an externally threaded trailing end, said endcap screwing into said leading end of the casing and into contact with a leading side of said battery, thereby affixing said battery therein, the watertight casing further comprising a leading end including a line-attachment eyelet, and an intermediate gasket. 
   
   
     5. A fishing hook described in  claim 2  above, the hook means used in known hook arrangement selected from the group consisting of single barbed hooks, pairs of barbed hooks, treble barbed hooks or any plurality of barbed hooks. 
   
   
     6. A fishing hook described in  claim 5  above, used as a component in other known lures selected from the group consisting of artificial bait, jigs, spinners, spoons, buzz baits, rubber skirts, or appendices. 
   
   
     7. A fishing hook comprising:
 (a) a barbed hook means; 
 (b) a cylindrical metal endcap having an externally threaded trailing end, a leading end including a line-attachment eyelet, and an intermediate gasket; 
 (c) an intermediate watertight metal casing defining a cylindrical cavity having an internally threaded leading end and a cylindrical battery ledge around the circumference of the cavity; 
 (d) a rotary-shaft micromotor including a cylindrical housing and having an activation end slidably alignable with a button cell battery and an opposite end comprising a rotary shaft and a V-shaped counterweight; and 
 (e) a button cell battery including a leading side and an activating side having a cylindrical circumference spanning the cavity on the leading side of the ledge, said endcap screwing into said leading end of the casing and into contact said leading side of said battery, thereby affixing said battery therein, whereas sufficient tilting of the cylindrical cavity from the leading-end-up orientation toward the leading-end-down orientation allows the micromotor activation end to slide into activating contact with the battery, the activation of said micromotor causing rotation of said shaft and counterweight and endowing the fishing hook with rotational force, said counterweight rotation also causing said motor to engage in counter-rotation within said casing and endow the fishing hook with counter-rotational force enabling the fishing hook to shun contact from its external environment, said counter-rotation also causing said motor and said counterweight to contact said casing and further endow the fishing hook with differing contact sounds. 
 
   
   
     8. A method of using a fishing hook described in  claim 7  above, comprising the steps of:
 (a) inserting the micromotor into the cavity, counterweight end first and with the activation end toward the leading end of the cavity; 
 (b) inserting the button cell battery into the cavity and spanning the ledge, with its activating side toward the activation end of the micromotor; 
 (c) screwing the endcap onto the leading end of the casing and into contact with the leading side of the button cell battery, to a watertight tightness; and 
 (d) orienting the fishing hook in a leading-end-up position to assure deactivation of the micromotor for conservation of battery power. 
 
   
   
     9. A method of using a fishing hook described in  claim 8  above, comprising the further steps of:
 (a) attaching a fishing line to the eyelet on the endcap; 
 (b) adding any desired bait and/or luring material to the fishing hook; and 
 (c) casting the fishing hook into water. 
 
   
   
     10. A method of using a fishing hook described in clam  9  above, comprising the further steps of, whenever the user desires the fishing hook to cease producing sound and contact-shunning reaction, adjusting the fishing line sufficient to cause the leading end of the fishing hook to orient above the trailing end and deactivate the micromotor.
